Alliance Counseling Center, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Grief and loss counseling provides support and understanding. It is about acknowledging the depths of the loss and the human emotions that stem from this loss. A counselor will meet you where you are and help you move through the personal grief process to a state of being able to find joy in your life again. You can get through this with help from our counselors.

Whether it is the loss of a loved one, a marriage, a dream, a job, a relationship, health, or lifestyle, together we will begin a healthy grieving process of your loss by identifying and resolving feelings of grief, anger, guilt, depression, discouragement and eventually acceptance. Walking alongside many individuals suffering with grief, I've learned that the grieving process is an individual experience that can be an opportunity for personal growth and awareness.

When we loose a loved one the world can be a dark place, and the outside world with good intentions tries to help us 'to let go' or 'to move on' much faster than we can and than we want to. I believe that grieving is not so much about letting go as it is about 'holding on'. Grieving is about having time to anchor that loved one in our hearts so deep until we can trust mto never loose that loving connection. The more we trust that connection to be there forever, the more we can indeed move on and allow ourselves to have a life again including joy and laughter without feeling like we leave somebody behind. Grief Therapy is about remembering, honoring, and telling stories of connection.

Grief affects our lives in many different ways. Often we are not aware of its impact physically, emotionally or spiritually or how a loss has impacted us even years later. REACH Counseling Services offers support that encompasses all these dimensions and understand that grief and loss can be healed and that life can move forward with hope and healing. We use a variety of approaches to help you deal with loss and grief.
